Brix determination in first expressed juice by mass flow meter : SRDC final report SD97011
(BSES, 1997)A series of trials have been carried out to evaluate the performance of a Micro Motion CMF025 mass flow meter in place of the standard hydrometer for brix measurement in cane pay analyses. Tests were conducted at ten sugar ... -
Finite element and durability modelling of roller shells and shafts : final report JCU6S
(BSES, 1998)The technology that has been adopted by the Australian raw sugar industry for roller shells and shafts has evolved over the past 40 years. Apart from Crawford's theoretical calculations on shell design and Cullen's factory ... -
Determination of fracture properties of cast steels : final report JCU9S
(SRDC, 1998)Technology currently exists to estimate the structural durability of cracked sugar mill gears and mill roller shafts. Both SRDC projects JCU2S (Crack detection and durability assessment of low speed gears) and JCU6S (finite ... -
Developing a framework for advancing road transportation of sugarcane : SRDC final report SD98013
(BSES, 1998)An objective of this project was to initiate a research program for the road transportation of sugarcane. Future research projects will be undertaken with the knowledge and cooperation of key parties and therefore have ... -
Proving a natural gamma ray soil monitor in sugar mill application : SRDC final project BS177S
(BSES, 1999)A commercially available instrument for measurement of soil in cane supplied to mills has been successfully commissioned at Tully Sugar Limited and is being used for cane payment and by mill personnel as an alarm for ... -
Clean Cane Workshop 2000 : SRDC final report
(SRDC, 2000)The Corporation has identified clean cane as a strategic issue that transcends several of its programs of research. -
An on-line cane monitoring system to measure the extraneous matter present in billet sugar cane : final report CSU001
(Charles Sturt University, Sugar Research Institute, 2000)Extraneous matter (EM) in cane billets consists of two major types of material; dirt and trash. Dirt consists of primarily inorganic, rock derived material, while trash consists of primarily organic, non-productive sugar ... -
Impact of chopper harvesting on the translation of field CCS to factory realised CCS : SRDC final report SD01007
(BSES, 2001)This project was designed to investigate the impact of chopper harvesting on CCS at the mill relative to measured CCS levels of cane in the field, as part of the reason behind declining CCS. Background for the project ... -
An experimental study of boiling in calandria tubes : SRDC final report JCU021
(SRDC, 2001)Raw sugar processing relies heavily on process equipment employing calandria-based heating systems to concentrate highly viscous sugar solutions, such as evaporators or vacuum pans. The design of these unit operations is ... -
Upgrading load and speed limits for cane transport vehicles : SRDC final project report SD01004
(BSES, 2001)The primary objective of this project was to reduce costs associated with the haulout of cane by facilitating the continued development of haulout equipment, appropriate to the needs of the industry. This was achieved by: -
Improved batch pan monitoring, control and optimization - a soft sensor approach : SRDC final project JCU018
(SRDC, 2001)Cane sugar is manufactured in process vessels called vacuum pans, which are closely supervised by operating personnel, known as pan boilers. Traditionally, the pan boiler’s job has been made easier through the use of a ... -
Understanding why potential field CCS is not realised at the factory : SRDC final report SD02005
(BSES, 2002)Declining ccs in the Mossman-Tully region has been linked to increasing extraneous matter in mill-supply cane. This was quantified by measuring the proportion and quality of crop fractions in pre-and post-harvest subsamples. ... -
Monitoring cane at the mill to improve nitrogen management on the farm : final report CTA029
(SRDC, 2002)The project originally had a third objective, namely to “Develop promising leads in rapid and cost effective analyses of N compounds in the mill juice stream to a “proof-of-concept” stage.” Instrumentation issues and ... -
Improving CCS in the wet tropics via block-specific monitoring of nitrogen in cane delivered to the mill : final report CTA045
(SRDC, 2003)This project seeks to implement a scheme for monitoring the nitrogen status of all cane crops in a wet tropics mill district and aims to work with growers in the use of this information to improve CCS and reduce the ... -
Improved train safety through improved locomotive braking performance : SRDC final report QUT019
(Sugar Research Institute, 2009)The safe operation of the cane railway, in the same way as for mainline railways, is gaining greater attention. One important aspect of safe operation is the ability to stop a train in an acceptable distance (or time). ... -
Advanced computer simulation of sugar factories - SysCAD : revised final report 2010/040
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2014)This project aims to develop a highly adaptable 'whole of sugar factory' process model that includes the capability to incorporate a variety of adjunct processing options e.g. cogeneration, biofuel production from molasses, ... -
Developing a new methodology for competency based training courses for shift supervisors in sugar factories : revised final report QUT032
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2014)The provision of effective training of supervisors and operators is essential if sugar factories are to operate profitably and in an environmentally sustainable and safe manner. The benefits of having supervisor and operator ... -
